ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME: Trekking the Nepal Himalayas

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I went back to Nepal recently and made another movie about my trek through beautiful Langtang National Park. I had a better camera on that trek, so it's a higher quality video. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXeUfXR4q9yDftE

[@patrickhollywood93]

Yes i first discovered your channel a few weeks ago when you went back. I love it man. Cus of you i now want to go trek Nepal how you do. Thanks.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

@@patrickhollywood93 Cool, go for it.

[@jayathilakaathauda1875]

I WATHED YOUR LAST TRIP , THROUGH LANGTANG NATIONAL PARKK AND ALL PREVIOUS VEDIOS IN 2014 YOUR LANGTANG HIKE, ALL ARE GRATE AND MORE INTERESTING, THANK YOU MR. GABRIAL SHOWINGUS TO UNSEEN WORLD BEAUTY AND DANGER

[@hiramviera622]

The Only and Unique Gabriel Morris. I Don't have words to describe his adventures. The best, and Very respectful, no foul language, no cursing,.he never cross the line with A lady. 👨‍🎓👨‍💻🕵️‍♂️💂‍♂️👳‍♂️🚶‍♂️

[@bellanoche6579]

This channel should have so much more traffic imo. So relaxing. Beautiful scenery. Serene. Oh my. I’ve always wanted to go there... but I’m too lazy to trek. Not really 😂 maybe when I was younger, before my heart condition reared it’s ugly head, I would have attempted it! I was 31 when I had a heart attack due to a congenital heart defect. Nothing I did would have prevented it. I was very very active before this occurrence. I hiked, travelled a lot! But never trekked. So awesome that you vlog to give us a chance to go places we can’t go for many reasons! THANK YOU!

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

I agree with you.

[@campingcarjoa]

Really stunning views. I've put it on my bucket list~^^

[@poutygorilla2698]

Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for sharing your adventure with me.

[@TheHuski]

What an Amazing Adventure Gabriel... Trip of a lifetime... Safe Travels *Greg*

[@sionehefa3458]

An amazing challenge and a most brilliant video of this part of your travels. Thanks Gabriel.

[@UVF79]

Very Interesting about your adventures in the Himalayas, great vids Gabe, keep up the good work! Happy Travels!

[@AlanChris246]

Thank you for this. Can't wait to get to Nepal myself.

[@alantaylor6691]

26:45 I like your hiking companion John, he's open friendly and good humoured.

[@Exosolaris]

Some of the most amazing views I've seen in your videos. What an adventure. And it feels accessible if you plan well.

[@kieranmoynihan8288]

Really love your videos mate, headed to do Annapurna Circuit myself this week and it's been great to be able to get excited watching all your vids!!! Peace!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Awesome, I'm tempted to go back to Nepal again soon myself. Have an epic trek.

[@UD747RED]

This is my favorite, hope i can do the same one day.

[@pauljustin9401]

Thanks for the great videos you have allowed me to experience places I never would have,,,

[@loganhoward5200]

I'm truly amazed by the amount of dedication that you have, I just get anxiety on the fact that you can't just "turn around". Your channel has given me motivation for a new hobby. Thanks mate

[@wolschu5895]

Thx for the memories, I remember the strong wind coming up every day after midday between Lethe and Jomsom along the Kali Ghandaki, the largest canyon in the world. It's been almost 50 years that I visited as a 21 year old. I still like to travel, travelling is exhilarating and trekking the Himalayas is amazing. The Annapurna massiv is such a beautiful region, as is the kingdom of Mustang right at the Chinese border. It can be hard to get a permit to visit Mustang being that close to a sensitive border. During my visit the road to Jomsom didn't exist, so I had to walk from Lake Pokhara through the flowering Rhododendren forest at Ghorepanee, past Tatopanee, Tukche, Lethe, Jomsom, Muktinath, Lo Mantang. So beautiful, especially during the month of April when the flowers bloom. Truly unforgettable. Wishing you a great 2022 🕉

[@tinku4859]

Thanku sir .for another new adventure. Love it..

[@rogerremnant1601]

Great video!

[@gabrielsimone3337]

Awesome adventure there Gabriel. It really is accessible to anyone who is relatively fit, I like all those villas and restaurants along the way; that definitely helps. Beautiful and stunning scenery and definitely a bucket list must do to all outdoors adventurous people. Great job there, and alongside your Treks of Peru to the Machu Pichu site and to Japan's Mount Fuji, that's quite an impressive life accomplishment!! 😁👌

[@tatianarojas785]

You are so lucky Gabriel. I wanna go someday!

[@jandradventures]

Nepal looks amazing!

I'm working my way through your videos, Gabriel. I've been watching them for a few months now. Just amazing! If you are ever home in Ukiah, and head over to Tahoe, would love to meet up for coffee with you here in Folsom, CA, on your way through on Hwy 50!

22:12 The horse is like, "Yeah whatev' human, couldn't give a fuck, you don't exist in my world. You can keep your hello's to yourself, me no do human".

[@Otisbear480]

I have done that trek but too old now. I have a deathly fear of heights and that added entertainment to my trek

[@bilnjan]

What shoes / boots do you use ? The pros and cons. Weights, socks. Where the rubber meets the road. Thanks.

[@winkhvac62]

Gabriel where I could get a map from area( hiking)

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

Great video! 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Right on, thanks Kay.

[@fantkorakla]

Εxperience of a lifetime, really.... Gabriel, you are one of the most luckiest persons on earth, do you know that, my friend?? My dream is to go to Tibet one day, but it's really quite far away from being true.... Have a nice time in Belgium and Greece, dear!

[@yishaidavidi8833]

OK Gabriel We get it. Hello our bro. Angels are all around for our good:)Peace to you!

[@FPInsight]

Hi Gabriel, I just did the ACT a month ago and I keep coming back to your videos. Too bad you didn't see the Tilicho lake in blue instead of frozen. Hope to come next year for another trek in Nepal.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Nice, yeah it would have been cool to have actually seen the lake, but it was also pretty awesome to do that hike with so much fresh snow on the mountains.

[@hawkkim1974]

very relaxing video

[@Rose-ty9lg]

Awesome.

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

You really inspire me to join a tour to this trek.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Go for it, an experience of a lifetime.

[@MG-yp7tb]

Heck of a stamina man Gabby.

[@alantaylor6691]

You'd want to hope the yaks are non-aggressive. I've seen footage of two yak bulls fighting and they are absolutely as hard, tough, and ruthless as hell when they want to be. One yak bull bullied the other to the ground then deliberately pushed him over the side of a cliff. The one that went over the cliff then walked back up the cliff back to his opponent and went at it again. Then he got pushed off the cliff again lol. They might seem docile, but they can go hard. Really hard.

[@robertalexander9365]

Load up on the parents visa, get the fanciest gear...and start trekking! I love those "shoes" with the individual toes....how progressive!!

[@dibaygautam2076]

Nice one

[@sabihatanveer8494]

Awesome ✌

[@atsurendra8699]

Inspiring

[@Ahire11Aniket]

after waiting long finally your video's here good to see a full 1 hr video !!! Great view of Himalayas !! its just amazing !! nicely captured GABRIEL good job ! Happy Diwali Happy Halloween

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks, Happy Diwali!

[@BudgetTrekKashmir]

It is really high .we have some high altitude alpine lakes in kashmir but they are 4000 meters

[@pasangsherpa1926]

Gabriel Traveller: I would recommend you to try the three pass trek on the Everest trail. Its breathtaking and the view is even more awesome. The only problem to trek in Khumbu is that it is expensive but its all worth it.

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

No. I don’t want Gabriel to trek on those dangerous paths.

[@mrphoenix799]

Great vedio sir

[@vhuppi]

Great

[@joshuasantiago788]

i love this i hope to travel over to nepal soon

[@GlobalAdventurer]

I'm so excited that I get to in February! Can't wait🙌

[@joshuasantiago788]

Global Adventurer awesome have safe travels!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

+Global Adventurer, which trek are you thinking of doing? I did the Langtang trek in February, but the other treks probably aren't possible because it's in the middle of winter.

[@GlobalAdventurer]

Hi Gabriel! Actually, Nepal will be part of a 3 month trip I have planned, that includes Jordan, UAE and Turkey too. I might add India to my list. So, as of right now I only plan to trek to Poon Hill (since I'm sort of a beginner) 😂 If that works out fine, I'm going to try Everest Base Camp in November next year. Regardless, I plan to go back to Nepal probably every year since the cost-of-living is good and it seems the people are pleasant. And the way of life there is simple. Happy Travels, and thank you for all your inspirational videos.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Global Adventurer I see, right on, that sounds like a good plan and a great trip. Yeah trekking to Poon Hill should be fine at that time. I haven't hiked up to there but the views are supposed to be amazing.

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

Rice or noodles help fill up the stomach and that help conquer acute mountain silliness too. I don’t know if Nepal provides coco leaves tea like Peru.

[@alantaylor6691]

Did you know the highest human habitation is 16,100 feet called La Rinconada in the Andes? You went higher than that. That hotel you stopped just before doing the pass would be one of the highest habitations in the world. I think that's what habitation means in this context, a place where humans live permanently.

[@coisalinda2424]

Nice 👍🏽

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

May God Always Bless You Good Health and Safety ! 🙏

[@jeffreyoser3816]

Gabriel, how much of the Circuit is still trekkable if hiking on the road is not preferable?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Much of the Circuit has an alternate walking path that's separate from the road, so you don't have to walk on the road all that much. Here's another video of mine with lots more info about the Circuit trek: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYGvd5mkpLqEm5Y

[@deepabasnet9439]

Very lovely 😍❤️

[@reggueraxon4968]

amigo muy bien tus vídeos saludos desde Guatemala

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Muchas gracias amigo!

[@elineeugenie5224]

wooow...💐

[@renemedina8026]

Super awesome video dude

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Great, thanks.

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

During the journey, I see you wear winter clothes, and summer clothes. The weather changes dramatically on different altitudes.

[@adityasundar324]

Fantastic as usual. I was wondering what equipment you use for navigation, apart from hand held maps. As in do you have a GPS receiver or go conventional with a Casio Protrek watch?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

For trekking in Nepal I just used a map that you can get of the trekking area and the trails, I didn't use any kind of GPS device to navigate. No need to, the trails are pretty straightforward.

[@adityasundar324]

Gabriel Traveler Thanks a lot :D

[@MilesBellas]

KZbin now has image stabilization which could improve the footage?

[@smallestdude99]

Hi Gabriel, I'm thinking of doing either the Poon Hill(Ghorepani) trek or the ABC trek this October. I don't know which one to do though, my stay in Nepal isn't long. Would I miss out on a lot if I did the Poonhill/Ghorepani trek only instead of the ABC trek?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I haven't done the Poon Hill trek but it's much shorter than the ABC, I think you can do it in two days and one night. So it's not nearly the same experience, although the views are supposed to be amazing. It depends on how much time you have as well as whether you have the right equipment. For the ABC you want to allow at least eight days to get up there and back, plus time getting ready in Pokhara (keep in mind that this video is not about the ABC trek, it's about the Annapurna Circuit trek which is different and takes even longer). So if you're short on time then just go for Poon Hill, if you can do the ABC then I would definitely do that.

[@MrUnclemoat]

Great trek i put my my exercise bike on 8 when when you climb lol thanks for the vid will subscribe

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Haha, cool.

[@elizabethalbert8703]

Did you come across wild life and reptiles like snakes during your trek.

[@biswadeepghosh5568]

very nice video

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

The noodle soup looks good.

[@markduncan6690]

I sure envy you man!! It looks like you kissed the rest of the world goodbye!

[@samuelboles8566]

When pan left or right my god do it slowly. So we see a lot better that close shot. Was ausome for a blur.
